It will work. Rub it on til it turns black, then use a clean cloth to polish clean

This may work well. I used it on some severely rusty chrome on the legs of a chair that was made in 1960 and then on some bike metal and it worked REALLY well.

I didn't like this product. Totally useless. I would ask an antique dealer what to use on your antique brass. Good luck

We used it on a 1914 Ford brass trim and it worked great. Just took a lot of rubbing.

If it says brass gold finish, then it is the brass gold look, make sure you are not selecting nickel or silvertone, unless that's what you want!

i have only used this product with great success on varnished furniture and cabinets. Works suggest you try on a piece of painted wood first. Lightly sand, and then rub with denatured alcohol, then try the stain. No guarantees but it sure would beat removing paint.

I have not used it on antique furniture but the compound has wood fibers in it which should take a water-based wood dye in order to make it blend with the original finish. On antique furniture I either replace the wood in kind or use burn-in stick shellac to fill small holes and cracks. This is a wonderful product and performs as advertised. I used it to restore fretwork on an 1892 Queen Ann house with excellent results. Of course I painted over the repairs which now cannot be seen. For painted antique furniture this would be excellent. By the way, it's final color when hardened is a light tan.

You can get a copper cleaner. Don't use on the inside and make sure it isn't flammable.

"It puts a lacquered finish on metals such as brass. The lacquer contains an anti-tarnish additive to keep metals bright, clean and new looking longer." That is what the can says. I used it on a brass bed and it worked beautifully to keep it from tarnishing with fingerprints etc. It does a nice job. I cleaned and polished the brass first before applying the lacquer. It gives the brass a nice soft shine. I hope this helps.

I would try MAAS. It removes stains and polishes without any damage. I have tried other suggested products and concoctions and this is the only one that I feel safe using on my precious metals. It is amazing!

I have a couple of antique silver spoons that do okay with it. I never polish them but they're still tarnish free, just a dull silver look.

More of an antiqued brass I'd say. Very pretty little desk. Hope this helps and Merry Christmas.

You can use an SOS pad on the handle. It will take the tarnish off and make it shiny again.

My recommendation is never stick anything on antique finish, the today material used are not compatible.

I personally sonic clean and, after drying, tumble my brass. This is just a matter of personal preference. Looks like almost new when finished.

I think what may suit your needs better is BriWax. Use it with 0000 steel wool - both to put on and rub off. Use a clean piece of steel wool after this process and your cabinets will polish up beautifully. I use it on all my older furniture to remove dirt or dullness that comes with age. It comes in colors but I always use the neutral/clear "color." It will take some "elbow grease" but you won't be disappointed.

I don't know. I don't have anything brass I can test it on. If I find something, I'll let you know.

I would suggest the wire wheel that you mentioned and probably a finer wire. It's according to how much rust there is. Or you can get a sandpaper type wheel with different grits of paper.

I would suggest ivory with a touch of gold, very warm neutral tone. Emits a lovely warm glow on my bedside tables.
